A Simsboro woman was charged with possession of a controlled substance after a search of her backpack at a crash scene.
Amber Cash, 30, was arrested Sept. 19 during the investigation of a crash in Ruston.
A Ruston Police officer detected the smell of marijuana coming from a vehicle that had arrived to pick up Cash. Cash admitted marijuana use but that she did not have any in her possession. A search of a backpack Cash had placed in the vehicle yielded one tablet of acetaminophen and hydrocodone, a Schedule II narcotic.
Cash was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
